They certainly do. I recall with infinite fondness Scarf's amazing and famous Montecristo maceration and that definitely had black tea overtones from my taste perspective.

Well, you all have pushed me to ask this one guy I know that dabbles a bit in eliquid to see if he can try this. I dunno, he may just be able to do it. 
I got my fingers crossed. Any suggestions? I know a good tea when I try it, but I don't generally know which to try. Make sense?

Cold Infusion Cigar from W2V has green tea notes (along with a bunch of others) and it works well. If a vendor puts out a line of NET/tea vapes I'd be giddy.

Well... I have made teas, and tobaccos in my slow cooker. But I have never made a tea-bacco. I wonder why not? D'OH! Early in my brewing career I made three tea extracts: two based on T2 teas (Honey Almond Ooolong and Sencha Quince) which were marvelous and I still vape them today, and a Lapsang Souchong which was so naaaaaaaaasty I chucked it pretty much immediately.
Anybody have any suggestions of what sorts of tea and tobacco would go well together?
Oh and by Jerms' standards, Ahlusion has 3 chais: Masala Chai, Chai Latte, and Cha Yen Cardamom. MC is too spicy for me. CYC is delightful but the cardamom is very persistent, so maybe don't use your most precious atomizer with it unless you are prepared to devote it everafter to spicy stuff.
I think a chai-bacco would probably end up tasting like a kretek...am I wrong?

And I know someone who would be a happy guinea pig to sample them. Spiced chai latte tobacco would be something I'd love, but any type of tea tobacco combo would be exciting for me.

Kretek is clove based. Chai could have clove, but does not need to. Cardamom and cinnamon are better players in tea.

Anybody testing Chai-bacco needs to get the Indian's seal of approval.. just sayin'!
I have an atomizer NET question.
NETs are hard on atomizers. I used to vape NETs with an HH.357. I loved the draw and flavor, hated replacing them so often at such a high price.
I currently vape my NET vapes with a Kanger T3. I usually get 2 or 3ml out of the atomizer before it clogs.
To clean it, I soak it in 150 proof vodka for a few days. This helps, but I may only get 1 more reuse pit of the atomizer.
I'm curious how you all vape your NETs. Also, if you have a better way to clean the gunk out of the atomizer, I'd like to know that as well.

Clean more often, before the gunk gets burned on for regular atties. Dirty NETs only lasted me a day before needing an alcohol soak. Anything that get's burned on needs a dry burn to remove the carbon build-up.
I use dripping RBAs now for NETs. Quick and easy to set up with silica, and can be rinsed and dry burned as needed, no alcohol soaks needed. Quality silica holds up for weeks too.

I agree with Jerms.. IGo-L is the new Dripping RBA. Phoenix XL with a mesh wick is the back-up D-RBA.
Doc, I feel for ya... I used to have terrible trouble with NETs in my T3s as well.
Right now I mostly use rebuildables or bottom-feeders. A Phoenix-style atomizer with a mesh wick (Cat's Pyjamas evangelized me on the glories of this, and He was right, praise Him) is one of the most fuss-free ways to do it.
If you prefer disposables, I still have not found anything better than clear dual-coil cartomizers such as these. They are ugly, and not all that resilient, but by cracky they vape beautifully. And they are cheap.
Pretty much what Scarf said. Rebuildables are working very well, just dry burn when gunked. I still use mega dual coil catomizers also and get anywhere from 10 to 30 mls through one before the NET chokes the life out of it. I have successfully cleaned and reused a few of the megas if the first juice in them was pretty clean, otherwise just toss em.
I bought a AGA-T last year with the intent of giving it a go. I couldn't put the dang thing together.
It soured me on rebuildables. I'm interested in vaping, the craftsmanship aspect, not so much.
Of course the vape world changes every few months. Maybe there is a more user friendly RBA with wicks I can buy, versus make. Thoughts?

I've seen people try genesis style RBAs like the AGA and go back to something else, but I've yet to see anybody try drippers like the IGO-S, IGO-L, or Phoenix and not stick with them. A lot easier to set up for a beginner and seem to produce better flavor too.

Fool proof Rebuildable tank: Smoktech RSST (it's got insulation everywhere that would normally cause a short)
Dripping Atty: IGo-L (lots of room, and easy as heck to put together)
The specific NET you are vaping also makes a big difference...
I can vape a Highbrow Vapor's French Pipe or Perique and will need to clean after about 2.5ml but on their RY4 I can go three times that before needing to clean... On the Heather's Heavenly Vapes Legend or Serendipity, I actually clean before it's required usually around 10-15ml at which time I get nervous about how long it may need to be dry burned and so I clean them anyway.
I also really like the IGO-L for dripping and ease of use... but then again, I didn't think using the AGA-T+ was all that tough to mess with either though it is a bit more work than the IGO-L is.

A dripper! Lots of people here like the IGOs but a Phoenix XL with mesh wick is super-easy to maintain. The kind you want looks like this, which is important because you need a cup to hold the juice (mesh doesn't serve as a reservoir like silica does). If it is too shallow, it will just slosh around unconstrained and lead to issues.
Believe me, if a spazz like me can get and keep this working, anyone can. My Phoenix setup lasted a month before I had to replace it, with the occasional rinse and dry burn.
I believe I used that line on you when you were considering an RBA. Don't think you believed me at the time though
RBAs sure are intimidating at first, but the easy ones aren't that much more complicated than changing a light bulb.
